Hi fellow xbmc-ers,
I am at my wits-ends with this issue.
I was using mediamonkey for over 10 years for my 12k collection, which I would say is over 99% accurate and orderly.
I add my music, located on a networked computer which I browse to using windows-network-smb, it finds everything and up to this point, all is fine.
As soon as I hit scan item to library, that's when I get problems.
Most artists that have "The" in front of their names (ie; "The Beatles", "The Rolling Stones", etc) end up showing twice (ie: "The Beatles" / "Beatles, The", "The Rolling Stones" / "Rolling Stones, The", etc). Both name versions each display all the exact same playable songs
I went back to check in mediamonkey and I have no artists whatsoever showing up as "Beatles, the" , "Rolling Stones, The" and so forth, neither in artist field nor in album artist field. Where and how xbmc gotham gets the duplicate artist name with "xxx,The" is beyond me.
I already tried cleaning the music db, deleting userdata folder, reinstalling xbmc, to no avail, my library still displays a ton of duplicate ( I guess a couple thousands...)
Any idea how I can fix this?
